degloving
Alright, this ends the thread.
Removing gloves? Also this implies the existence of “gloving”
Fun fact: it’s also a medical term referring to a specific type of injury / trauma! One of my instructors said she was caring for an ICU patient who had been clinging to life so long that their body was basically just disintegrating and she accidentally degloved their hand while trying to reposition them. Like she picked up the patients’ arm and the arm just slipped out of its skin. She panicked and tried to put it back and her preceptor (she was a new grad) stopped her because that’s just kinda not how that works like even if they were gonna somehow put it back on they’d probably be calling a surgeon but if the patient is so sick it’s just slipping off it’s almost definitely not reattachable. Another instructor had a similar story of trying to turn a patient on their side and her hand just going through the patients thigh which she described disintegrating in her hand in a similar manner so apparently it’s not even all that uncommon when medical science has kept your body alive past its expiration date.
On Christmas Eve 201X, I was on duty on the ambulance. Here I thought I’m just jumping in for 3 hours since everybody else was busy. Big regret. We got called to a “seemingly dead person” who was living right next door to his sons’ family flat. When we arrived, son opened his dad’s flat and that old sucker was lying in the bathtub, water fucking hot like he just put it in. Every part of his that was outside the water was stiff as fuck, like neck and arms. Everything else was fucking boiled. So of course we try to put him somewhere with more space, the living room. My colleague took him by his armpits, I took his legs. The legs, as well done as they were, I couldn’t take them. I tried to pull him up but only ended up with a handful of skin, it peeled off so smoothly. I hate that I still remember it. Never heard what happened after, we almost instantly gave that over to police.
Yes, I regret typing it into Wikipedia
:)
Our definitions of “fun” must differ quite significantly :|
I read about a guy who fell into boiling water. When someone tried to pull them out the skin on their hand came off instead.
What kind of illness causes that? Radiation poisoning?
Burns can do it. I saw a hand where a finger was degloved because a person was climbing with a ring on and the ring snagged when he fell.
Hey I was still using those.
Sorry, didn’t realize you still needed your skin. Here, you can have it back
I’d be very happy to never hear a scandal described by having “gate” as a suffix.
Please wait. Before the suffix -gate goes away for good I want a fence-related scandal that we can call gate-gate. Then it can be retired.
I don’t understand why is gate a suffix at all?
Or cyber as a prefix
I can’t believe no one said skibidi
My knowledge of that “word” is the fact that it exists and that is all. There is nothing for me to unlearn.
gooning
I had to look it up. Ew
Enshittification
A very useful word, though.
Smegma 🥴
Don’t you mean santorum?
Fashist
“Actually it’s ‘facism’.'”
“Lovely!”

The word ‘due’ as in ‘due to covid.’ I hear it everywhere now, especially from young people. I want the word ‘because’ to make a comeback.
Level 3 is a big part of the storyline in “The Memory Police” by Yoko Ogawa
I’ll try, but I am not the smartest with lvl. 2 and 3.
Level 1: Sounding
Level 2: God
Level 3: Wrongdoing- ??? No replacement word
- Deity
- fault
Not sure what you’re attempting there, trying to make it so his choices aren’t useful?
- Either urethral insertion or dilation (depending on your preference)
Two words though
Capitalism/Greed on Level 3 please.
This ask reminds me of this Kids in the Hall sketch
I delineate that to be true
Scaphism
the victim being trapped between two small boats, one inverted on top of the other, with limbs and head sticking out, feeding them and smearing them with milk and honey, and allowing them to fester and be devoured by insects and other vermin over time.

Was my generation’s slang bad? No, it is the young people
Our slang was bomb, yo. The shiznit!
yes, yes it was
we made literally and figuratively mean the same thing!

I think their reality is likely the most bizarre.
It’s cute how you’re putting an s on ‘slang’, like you do with ‘traffic’.
Skibidi is like the least worst YouTube brainrot. It actually has themes and an overarching story.
Just because it’s shortform, chaotic, and ugly doesn’t automatically make it bad. It’s better than the stuff on YouTube that I grew up watching, it’s honestly got deeper themes than Red Vs. Blue.
Rizz is just this decades swag.
Of all of the gen A things you picked the least offensive ones. We should be picking things like glizzy, the replacement for hotdog.
